Default SAAB to build cars in Russia
http://www.thelocal.se/25806/20100329/

Russian banker/crook Vladimir Antonov announced today that SAAB will build cars in Kaliningrad, a Russian enclave on the Baltic Sea, boundried by Poland and Lithuania. Kaliningrad (Kalinin's city) was one of Russia's few warm water ports (that is: ice free, mostly) that Russia kept after the Baltics declared their independence from the USSR.

Not sure if the SAAB convertible will still be assembled in Finland again.

Neither sure if GM will retain any portion.

BMW already assembles in Kaliningrad, with a special low tax fee on imports into Russia.
